I recently read and reviewed Just Another Judgement Day and The Good, the Bad, and the Uncanny by Simon R Green. The reviews will be up on BookThing soon. I avoided any spoilers if at all possible in those reviews, but it should be obvious I was less than impressed. In this post, I’ll rant about why, and there will be spoilers. I don’t think it’s necessarily fair to moan about an author’s work, since they’ve put a lot of effort into it and I’ve basically done fuck all with my life. That’s why I’ve tried to keep the reviews slightly more objective. However, this is my blog, and I just need to vent about some stuff.

In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears. Things are not only what they are. They are, in very important respects, what they seem to be. - Hubert H. Humphrey.
